Looking for CMS advice
Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Needs
I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
Static website in the front-end
Simple and reliable CI/CD
No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
If it requires forge integration, it should support #ForgeJo
#OpenSource
Nice to have
Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
CMS app packaged on @yunohost
No CMS vendor lock-in
I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
#FreeSoftware
Absolutely not
Front-end #JavaScript frameworks
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

Huh, Runkit has been gone for few months and npm pages are still linking to it https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/141424
The forum is also filled with reports and spam https://discuss.runkit.com/ 😥
The latest development in @deno_land 's petition to cancel Oracle’s claim to the #JavaScript trademark: Oracle used Node.js as proof of use & is seeking to dismiss fraud claims, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.

The next version of Deno will have a super fast JS/TS plugin API for the linter 🎉
Watch @lcasdev write a lint rule to ban string literals in <60 seconds.
This, plus many other goodies, to land next week with Deno 2.2.
#FreeJavaScript update: We just responded to Oracle's Motion to Dismiss our fraud claim in the JavaScript trademark cancellation.
Oracle argues submitting one valid specimen excuses submitting a fraudulent one. Our position: one legitimate submission doesn't erase another fraudulent act.

Just landed a new manual page on Deno's FFI
Deno v2.2.10 is out 🎉
⭐ Faster deno install with npm
⭐ improved node:test
⭐ stream and querystring fixes
⭐ virtio VSOCK on Linux
and more!

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.
there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

So recently the @nodejs project posted an article seeking LGBTQIA+ stories from people who use or have contributed to Node.js, I shared the link last week.
Anyway, I decided to submit a story of how Node.js and tech in general was a lifeline for me as a teenager, in a world where I didn't quite fit in, and how I came to realise I was trans.
Many thanks to them for providing this opportunity!
